The demo pre-script

  1. ./rec.sh
    1. rm -rf ~vds/.java/
    2. cd ~vds/downloads
    3. rm -rf jguigen
  2. enter password
  3. cd ~vds/downloads
  4. If you have not checked out the code then:
    1. svn checkout https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/jguigen/JGuiGen/trunk/ jguigen
    2. cd jguigen
    3. ls -l - looks like a normal project folder
    4. here's some images ... here's a lib for supporting libraries ...
    5. all code here is under the Gnu General Public License ... the GPL
    6. unzip JGuiGenMisc.zip - these are starter files that we usually don't want other folks committing back into the source, such as configuration files that you'll need to customize for yourself when you are generating your own Graphical User Interfaces here ... and other files that you will need to ...
    7. time ./build.sh
  5. hide the panel
  6. xview JGuiGen_Screenshot.jpg & - Elegant CRUD
  7. maximize it
  8. throw it into workspace 2
  9. rec -c 1 -d /dev/dsp -t wav -r 44100 - | lame -h - junk.mp3
  10. F8 start recording swf

Generating a screen for the Lead table

  1. chmod 0755 ./runUtil.sh
  2. sh ./runUtil.sh DatabaseManager
